You're right about Serbia being bombed because of Kosovo but it has nothing to do with you guys.
You just happened to be there wanting to help them take Kosovo. Know one thing, they took Kosovo for themselves NOT for you.
(Peggy, 18 February 2010 21:10)

Hey, as long as they bombed you we really don't care about the reason, even if it means us staying a NATO colony for a thousand years.

(Artan, 18 February 2010 15:47)



Artan, I know this one too and Serbs used Kosova's invitation by Croatia as an excuse not to go there. I don't think that Serb leadership is welcomed to Zagreb anyway.

I got news for you - Serbia got bombed by the West because of Kosovo. Not difficult to understand indeed.
(Desert Fish, 18 February 2010 19:10)

Serbia got bombed by NATO alright because they wanted build a base in that region. It was never because of the Albanians or to show their human rights credentials. In fact, they killed 10,000 Albanians in the process.

Cheers


Soon Serbians politicians will be all dressed up but no where to go. Russians will soon get tired and tell the Serbs to play with the other boys in their neighbourhood. Serbia will say they are mean and in the end seek friendship with North Korea because they have big fire crackers. But they will fined their new friend crazy then as last resort they will turn to their Srpska entity. Sad maybe they can get help from the famous physiologist/guru/war criminal Radovan Karadžić to go grow up healthy and balanced but he will be booked up at least until 2040.

Who cares about Croats or Albanians?
They are insignificant and powerless and pushed and used by their masters anyway.
What we Serbs need to do to find a business like approach to the West until they leave our southern Serbian province and stregthen our ties with our allies Russia and China even further.
We should do everything to strengthen the Serbian nation economically,politically and militarily.
We don`t need good relations with our enemies.

According to the amount of KA posters on the subject it is very painful to them.
(passing by, 18 February 2010 22:17)

I'm not sure the KA are in pain because serbia will not partipate in the ceremony. Serbs should be worried about their hara-kiri, alias self-isolation. Croatia is an independent country and they decide on their own who to invite. Apparently, they didn't get bullied by serbs. This is not a surprise, because we know that Tadic would not attend. He had made this public already. At the end, we could say this is another win for kosovo, like it or not

This is hilarious! You K-labs are so concerned with Serbia attending and where Serbia is going it really is a sign that you know the great ‘behemoth’ that Serbia is – is not finished. Why are you so concerned about whether YOUR country Serbia is going to send its diplomats to Croatia? Do try to understand that if anyone needs anything - Croatia needs Serbia more than Serbia needs Croatia. The Serbs’ have never been ones for the beach anyway haaha. And do you really think the Croat political elite likes the K-labs – you’ve got to be joking right???? Its all due to geo-politics which are rapidly changing my southern citizens.

That is one of the most stupid comment I have read from a senior Serbia official. Serbia is trying to put the blame of his own problem to Croatia/other countries. Serbia has no right whatsoever to tell an independent country "With me or against me".

RE: Croatia had no choice

Given that most of Europe has illegally recognized the quasi-state of Kosovo; Josipovic was essentially forced to invite Fatmir Seidu to the event.

Croatia knows too well that its economic prosperity in large part needs a strong economic relationship with Serbia and that holds true for Serbia as well. Slovenia has seized on trading opportutnies with Serbia, Croatia has not.

The US policy towards Serbia is to agree to disagree over Kosovo, Croatia needs to adopt the same stance while at the same time not aggravating the situation particularly with derogatory statements from outgoing President Stipe Mesic.

The first step is to remove the ridiculous "genocide lawsuits" over a civil war between the Yugoslav nations.

As for Kosovo and its fake institutions; negotiation not antogonization with Serbia is the only solution.

Cantonization, Confederation, Autonomy, whatever the solution, one must be found for the good of all citizens in Kosovo to move forward.


Not the irredentist KLA terrorist policies of Thaci and Co.

You got big hopes Zoran. Maybee one day heaven falls down also. But one thing I am wondering about is why would West ''choose'' Serbia over Kosovo when Serbia allways stay on the side of Russia ? Russia as we all know is an opponent to the West and US.

But we all know who is more important, Kosovo or Serbia. I don't see Medvedev or Obama visiting Belgrade. George Bush and Bill Clionton is two american president wich have visited albanian land. Croatian president choosed President of Kosovo Fatmir Sejdiu before the serbian one Boris Tadic. So go ahead Serbia wave your self to the east we don't need you in the West or EU.

Nobody cares about Serbia and Serbia is not important to the West or the Balkan region.



Kosovo is independent accept it or not. We don't care at all about Serbian recognition as long as we got US and Albania by our side.


Peace and prosperity to all!!

It is very funny to see so many k-albanians who are convinced to live in a place they consider a nation, simply because it is not...
Evidently they did not notice that the (real) nations which recognized kosovo (which continue today to be a Serbian province) are a minority.
So "dear" k-albanians, try to stop dreaming about EU or UN invitation to your SO CALLED officials, because to be invited you need to be a nation, and you are not. More over, to be invited you need to be a respectable nations but... What kosovo got to respect at the moment? NOTHING! You'll be more respectable under Serbian administration.

Croatia must realise that recognising Kosovo undermines Serbia's soverignty. As a result I believe relations between the two countries must be kept to an absolute minimum namely ensuring peace and stability in the region and Serbia's economic interests.

Fracturing the balkans further by creating yet another state is counterproductive to everyone who lives there, We have all weakend ourselves to such a degree that we are all vassals to the west when as Yugoslavia we were so much stronger together. We let internal and external forces drive us apart when we all have a common future. It saddens me.

Serbia does not go to Croatia function but sending all kinds of representatives to the US and cooperation with NATO shows real backbone.

I want to make sure that I'm not somehow supporting or recognizing Kosovo. I'm not sure on a few things and maybe some people in this forum can help me.

I already know that if you, even accidentally, say 'hello' to an Albanian, this means you recognize Kosovo.

I'm just confused what happens if you've been in a room that an Albanian has also been it, if it means you recognize Kosovo.

Any tips on accidentally recognizing Kosovo would be very helpful, thanks.

Your pathetic show of withdrawing ambassadors for 6 months and then behave like nothing happened speaks volumes about the coherence and moral of your political elite.

Just for comparison: the communist Albania in 40 years (not 6 months) the only countru of the west with which had very limited diplomatic relations was France. And all this for ideological reasons.

I was excepting that you for “your” “holy land” would have resist at least 1 year (why not a decade??) in keeping frozen dipl. relations with the west. But when it is about the money you Serbs are very able in defending the interests of your holy land: Serbia. You make the U turn in a second (mostly 6 months).

So you see your bluffs are just pathetic- no one buys them.

Serbia DOES NOT boycott the IMPORTANT meeting were also KOSOVA is PARTECIPATING: Obama's dinner; Brussels meeting on EU perspective of SEE.

Serbian Govt is just staging these pathetic shows concerning the minor for her interest, gatherings.

This is pathetic and this circus.

This unprofessional, incoherent, immoral and insulting behaviour of your Govt should be exposed for your own good.

You cannot insult Italy and Croatia: since you invite Kosova I leave...

while when it is Washington and Brussels you remain as good boys silent in a corner.

You have no seat at the UN, you can vote on no world affairs, zero. Just because you say you are a nation, and the US forces its puppets to agree, does not make you a nation. I fully agree with Serbia - it is an insult to have Sejdieu present at the Croat inauguration, while a Serbian official is there - even if the Croats are doing it to play nice with the West.

Here we have another childish act of serb leaders who are getting more and more isolated. There is nothing wrong with attending a meeting where a kosovo official is. This is a complete joke from serbian officials.
But anyway, even if serb officials are missing, the life goes on without them too. Serbs have this idea in their mind that without serbs life does not go on, but in fact life goes on without serbs too so I would suggest to serbs to get with the crowd and to stop thinking that they are the most important people in the world because they are not.

Serbs are right in this matter. I wouldn't go to this ceremony either. Serbia's struggle to preserve it's territorial integrity, against some of the world's largest powers, is not over, and winnable. It is actually an insult to Serbia to extend an invitation to anything, knowing that a K albanian representative will be present.

Belgrade made the right decision. Understanding fully the consequences of their choice, Zagreb thought it more important to invite the so-called president of a partially recognised, disputed dependency over the legitimate president of all Serbia. Josipovic then had the brass neck to say that he extended the hand of friendship to Belgrade and that it was rejected. Does Zagreb really think that Tadic would go to the inauguration and sit beside a Kosovo Albanian pretending to be the head of state of part of his country? If Croatia wants better relations with Serbia then they should show some respect and tact. The ball is well and truly in their court.

Croatian president choosed President of Kosovo Fatmir Sejdiu before the serbian one Boris Tadic. So go ahead Serbia wave your self to the east we don't need you in the West or EU.

Nobody cares about Serbia and Serbia is not important to the West or the Balkan region.



Kosovo is independent accept it or not. We don't care at all about Serbian recognition as long as we got US and Albania by our side.


Peace and prosperity to all!!

RE: Croatia had no choice

Given that most of Europe has illegally recognized the quasi-state of Kosovo; Josipovic was essentially forced to invite Fatmir Seidu to the event.

Croatia knows too well that its economic prosperity in large part needs a strong economic relationship with Serbia and that holds true for Serbia as well. Slovenia has seized on trading opportutnies with Serbia, Croatia has not.

The US policy towards Serbia is to agree to disagree over Kosovo, Croatia needs to adopt the same stance while at the same time not aggravating the situation particularly with derogatory statements from outgoing President Stipe Mesic.

The first step is to remove the ridiculous "genocide lawsuits" over a civil war between the Yugoslav nations.

As for Kosovo and its fake institutions; negotiation not antogonization with Serbia is the only solution.

Croatia is an independent country and they decide on their own who to invite. Apparently, they didn't get bullied by serbs. This is not a surprise, because we know that Tadic would not attend. He had made this public already. At the end, we could say this is another win for kosovo, like it or not

Belgrade made the right decision. Understanding fully the consequences of their choice, Zagreb thought it more important to invite the so-called president of a partially recognised, disputed dependency over the legitimate president of all Serbia. Josipovic then had the brass neck to say that he extended the hand of friendship to Belgrade and that it was rejected. Does Zagreb really think that Tadic would go to the inauguration and sit beside a Kosovo Albanian pretending to be the head of state of part of his country? If Croatia wants better relations with Serbia then they should show some respect and tact. The ball is well and truly in their court.

Just for comparison: the communist Albania in 40 years (not 6 months) the only countru of the west with which had very limited diplomatic relations was France. And all this for ideological reasons.

I was excepting that you for “your” “holy land” would have resist at least 1 year (why not a decade??) in keeping frozen dipl. relations with the west. But when it is about the money you Serbs are very able in defending the interests of your holy land: Serbia. You make the U turn in a second (mostly 6 months).

So you see your bluffs are just pathetic- no one buys them.

Serbia DOES NOT boycott the IMPORTANT meeting were also KOSOVA is PARTECIPATING: Obama's dinner; Brussels meeting on EU perspective of SEE.

Serbian Govt is just staging these pathetic shows concerning the minor for her interest, gatherings.

This is pathetic and this circus.

You cannot insult Italy and Croatia: since you invite Kosova I leave...

while when it is Washington and Brussels you remain as good boys silent in a corner.

Let me get this straight -- if any Serbian government representatives attends a meeting where Kosovo's representatives are treated with all state honors then that means you recognize Kosovo's independence?
If that's so, then I believe you've already recognized Kosovo as independent. FYI, on February 4, 2010, your interior minister Ivica Dacic attended the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, D.C., and guess what...so did the Kosovo's foreign minister.

I got news for you - Serbia got bombed by the West because of Kosovo. Not difficult to understand indeed.

I think that the 65 countries recognizing Kosovo disregarding Serbia's strong wishes has given you an answer to which is more important.
Serbia does not go to Croatia function but sending all kinds of representatives to the US and cooperation with NATO shows real backbone.

You're right about Serbia being bombed because of Kosovo but it has nothing to do with you guys.
You just happened to be there wanting to help them take Kosovo. Know one thing, they took Kosovo for themselves NOT for you.

According to the amount of KA posters on the subject it is very painful to them.

I'm not sure the KA are in pain because serbia will not partipate in the ceremony. Serbs should be worried about their hara-kiri, alias self-isolation. Croatia is an independent country and they decide on their own who to invite. Apparently, they didn't get bullied by serbs. This is not a surprise, because we know that Tadic would not attend. He had made this public already. At the end, we could say this is another win for kosovo, like it or not

is not for me to say, but I think that Serbia going east is very unlikely.
Anyhow, not attending the inaguration of Croation president is something not that important. relations between Croatia and Serbia have worsened since the genocide suit.

Plan B for Kosova is a union with Albania, US and Germany have already floated this in passing and as a veiled threat to Serbia and Russia.

Other than protesting, Serbia can do nothing. For Albanians it's better to have a state with 6 million than two small ones.

Cantonization,Confederation,Autonomy,whatever the solution,one must be found for the good of all citizens in Kosovo to move forward.

Not the irredentist KLA terrosist policies of Thaqi and CO.

If you haven't heard yet Kosova have found it's solution.It is INDEPENDENT,and if you really wish "good of all citizens in Kosovo to move forward" as you say,the best you and everybody can do is just to live them alone.They have choosen ther way!
God bles you all!

Who cares about Croats or Albanians?
They are insignificant and powerless and pushed and used by their masters anyway.
What we Serbs need to do to find a business like approach to the West until they leave our southern Serbian province and stregthen our ties with our allies Russia and China even further.
We should do everything to strengthen the Serbian nation economically,politically and militarily.
We don`t need good relations with our enemies.

"so-called Kosovo" said Jeremic

how to rename the Kosovo loud jeremic now? Jeremicstan ?
(Luis, 18 February 2010 16:21)

Haha. I noticed that too. This just shows that his stance is pure theatre with no substance. He started by denying the independence of Kosovo and he's ending by denying its very existence.

Serbia got bombed by NATO alright because they wanted build a base in that region. It was never because of the Albanians or to show their human rights credentials. In fact, they killed 10,000 Albanians in the process.

Soon Serbians politicians will be all dressed up but no where to go. Russians will soon get tired and tell the Serbs to play with the other boys in their neighbourhood. Serbia will say they are mean and in the end seek friendship with North Korea because they have big fire crackers. But they will fined their new friend crazy then as last resort they will turn to their Srpska entity. Sad maybe they can get help from the famous physiologist/guru/war criminal Radovan Karadžić to go grow up healthy and balanced but he will be booked up at least until 2040.

Artan, I know this one too and Serbs used Kosova's invitation by Croatia as an excuse not to go there. I don't think that Serb leadership is welcomed to Zagreb anyway.

Hey, as long as they bombed you we really don't care about the reason, even if it means us staying a NATO colony for a thousand years.
